Do you work with search funds?
Yes. We're happy to work with any buyer that can prove its ability to acquire.
What data will I receive from EquiMatch?
We'll present you with market mapping, which includes analytics on all target companies. You get full visibility into the market landscape.
How do you differentiate from company databases?
Company databases lack comprehensive information and use AI only for keyword searching. EquiMatch performs thorough 360° analysis, profiles owners, customizes messaging, and engages directly with sellers before introducing them to you.
How many times do you reach out to target companies?
We use AI with CRM automations to avoid over-contacting while reaching out on multiple channels and multiple times. Quality over quantity!
Do you reveal my identity to target companies?
No, unless you specifically ask for it. Our letters are sent without buyer identifiers. Your identity stays completely confidential.
Does EquiMatch guarantee that sellers will be ready to negotiate?
Yes. In our discussions with sellers we explain how M&A works and make sure they're open to discuss. No tire-kickers!
What information do you need from me?
During the kickoff, we discuss search criteria and inorganic growth strategy, and draft benefits for target companies to work with you.
Can I customize my search criteria?
Yes, that's part of our core strength. You should be as detailed as possible about what you want in a company, and also what would exclude a company.
How much time does the process take?
It can take as little as a few hours for us to start sending personalised letters to target companies. FAST!
Do you give me exclusivity on the target company?
Yes. Once we introduce you to a company, we don't introduce that company to any other buyer until either side rejects the deal.
What is your pricing model?
We charge market rate success fees. No retainers, no hidden costs. You pay $0 until the deal closes.
How quickly can I expect leads after engaging with EquiMatch?
It can be as little as a few days. Our AI works around the clock! ⚡
Do you do sell side advice?
No. We're happy to support you on the journey to find the best buyer, but we're not sell side advisors.
Am I using your technology?
No, we're purely service based. We use our technology to deliver the best results for you. You don't need to install anything!
What languages are you working in?
All communication is set to the preferred language of the seller — their native language. We have no geographical limitations!
Do you keep my information confidential?
Yes, only upon your approval do we share the information you shared with us. Your privacy is our #1 priority.
Do I need to pay EquiMatch for its service?
No. We're paid by the buyer, only in case you decide to sell your business to them. Our service is 100% FREE for sellers!
What happens if I choose not to move forward with a buyer?
No problem at all! We welcome your feedback and are happy to help identify a more suitable partner if you're interested.
What is EquiMatch's role in the negotiation and sale process?
Once we introduce you to a potential buyer, we step out of the picture. It's entirely up to you to select your team.
What if I'm not actively looking to sell my company?
No one is pressuring you to sell. We're happy to remain in contact nonetheless. Who knows what the future holds!
How do you guarantee that you'll find me a good buyer?
We work to better understand your personal goals and company objectives. We won't recommend introductions if your needs aren't met.
Why did EquiMatch contact me about selling my company?
You came up on a targeted search we ran for one of our clients. Your company matched their acquisition criteria. Consider it a compliment! 😊
How do I track the status of leads for my clients?
We'll present you with market mapping, which includes analytics on all target companies. Full transparency.
What is EquiMatch's fee structure for M&A advisors?
We're happy to discuss success fee arrangements that suit both of us. Flexible and fair!
Can I customize search criteria for each of my clients?
We value the relationship you have with your clients and are flexible in how we collaborate. Each engagement is tailored.
If we collaborate, do you work directly with my clients?
We can be flexible on the arrangement — happy to work with you directly or engage your clients through your guidance.
How does EquiMatch complement traditional M&A advisory services?
We provide proprietary origination services and partner with advisors on off-market targets. We don't compete with you — we don't offer M&A advice.
